Files metadatas

Pelican tries to be smart enough to get the informations he needs from the
filesystem (for instance, about the category of your articles), but you need to
provide by hand some of those informations in your files.

You could provide the metadata in the restructured text files, using the
following syntax:

Note that only the date metadata is mandatory, so you just have to add that in i
your files. The category can also be determined by the directory where the rst file
is. For instance, the category of python/foobar/myfoobar.rst is foobar.

Getting started — Generate your blog

Yeah? You're ready? Let's go ! You can install pelican in a lot of different
ways, the simpler one is via pip:

$ pip install pelican

Then, you have just to launch pelican, like this:

$ pelican /path/to/your/content/

And… that's all! You can see your weblog generated on the content/ folder.

This one will just generate a simple output, with the default theme. It's not
really sexy, as it's a simple HTML output (without any style).

You can create your own style if you want, have a look to the help to see all
